Speed Sights are the ultimate pistol “Flash Sight picture” and end the debate between
“point shooting” or “aimed fire” for hand guns.
There has been endless debate about whether “point shooting” or “aimed fire”
is the best method for extreme rapid fire with a pistol during actual shoot outs.
“Point shooting” advocates say that during real gun fights, there is no time to
properly acquire a correct sight picture and that the defensive shooter should
learn to draw and fire accurately without slowing down enough to properly align
the sights.
Advocates of using “aimed fire” believe that even during a real incident, one must
train to use the sights, that it’s too easy to miss with just “point shooting” a pistol.
Trying to solve this dilemma, the famed late Colonel Jeff Cooper proposed a third method; the
“Flash sight picture” for handguns.
His idea was to train to use pistol sights in a very rapid manner to confirm that one was generally
on target, rather than to stop completely to get a very detailed confirmation of the sights being all
correctly aligned.
Speed Sights ends the debate by providing the largest, sharpest, brightest, high contrast, intuitive
sight picture available for hand guns.
Speed Sights are so bright, sharp and visible that a “Flash Sight Picture” with Speed Sights is ALL
you need for a “complete sight picture” on your pistol.
In other words, a “flash sight picture” with Speed Sights can be just as accurate or more accurate, as a more slow, deliberate aim with ordinary conventional sights.
The combat effectiveness of a Speed Sights “flash sight picture” has been proven by reports from Speed Sights users who were in actual gun fights.
Several of these actual incident reports can be read at this link, for our “Combat Reports” section:

So the debate is over. Speed Sights are the ultimate sight picture for both slowly aimed or rapid fire “flash” sight pictures.
